Providing an extended loan period for HCLS materials checked out on the organization library card

Providing an increased number of HCLS items available for checkout

Providing an assigned HCLS staff member to work with your organization to provide: enhanced communication, a rotating assortment of HCLS materials for checkout, pre-selection of materials, and updates on HCLS events.
